	Resplendent in their red 'lion tamer' tunics and new white caps (then available for half a Guinea) the band marched the newly tarmaced streets of Kidderminster in June 1933. Being a very hot day (part of the hottest summer on record) the tarmac began to cling to the bandsmen's shoes and when they marched into the town hail to commence the evening festival it deposited itself on the newly laid carpet. The Mayor warmly welcomed the band but, privately, was none too pleased.
